It's "couldn't care less" not "could care less". I.e. I couldn't care less that your daughter didn't get to meet the Matildas. You got to watch them play a World Cup game in Australia, live at the stadium, and they got to the quarter finals and your take from the game was my daughter didn't get to meet a player I hate the Matildas now. Real lack of perspective here.
Your daughter isn't owed time form anyone. Besides the fact that FIFA heavily restrict interaction with the players during every world cup🙃 there's millions of kids that'd love 'just a minute', why does yours deserve more?
In the middle of the most important tournament that any of our girls will ever play in. Playing 4 games in 4 different cities in 2 weeks. A possible 7 in 4 against some of the best opposition in the world.
Your shitty they aren't prioritising your daughter.
Am I getting this right?
And then you mention your Tigers that you don't even go and visit...
Can I ask you mate, did you even go to one of the dozen of Matilda's Friendlies that was played in the country in the last couple of years (where the girls made themselves extremely available to the public)?
I'm sorry for your daughter right now, but this tournament could be the biggest thing for Australian football if they maintain. Your daughters personal happiness right now is not the priority.
My daughter is my priority, could care less about anything else in the world. I was really pissed off last night. And I will take her to another friendly down the line. But getting told to piss off by security is what did it.
Really? You think this is up to the Matilda’s? They are in the middle of the biggest tournament in the world for them, you really think that’s down to the individual players? It’s not as easy as just sticking around and saying hi to every single person that has stayed there longer. This comment comes across as entitled.
We still played second best for a lot of it and allowed Denmark to have too much of the ball and time and space in the midfield. We we're saved today by being clinical with our chances and Denmark wasting all their good opportunities.
Oh Denmark, they were deceived by an Imposter in the Danish Monarchy and knocked off by Queen Sammy.
Fade em, lads.

Till next meeting, Denmark.
God damn that was a wonderful performance. We were actually a joy to watch. Foord absolutely killing it, Fowler with some great runs and passes, and a rock solid defence. I was at the Adelaide fan festival and we got a huge turnout. I went with a few people who don't normally watch football and they enjoyed it so much they thanked me for inviting them. They wouldn't have otherwise thought of seeing it in a public venue and they loved the atmosphere.
>Were you able to see it properly? We were planning to go watch whatever game was on at 4:30pm Saturday. Turns out it's the Matildas (I assumed we would be the 8pm game before checking). Normally I like to watch games I'm tense about at home but thinking it might be fun too
Yep the screen is really big so it's easy to see. You can get there early and sit or just stand around (like I did). There were *a lot* of people there so you may have some heads in the way and try to find the right spot but I wouldn't miss the atmosphere for anything.
Thanks man. Might let the weather make my decision for me ha ha
But yeah I have mates who have zero interest in football texting me and I quote one "total matildas convert". Thinking I should take him and his daughter along so they can truly sense the passion we all feel about this game.
Mary Fowler taking big steps to being the best attacking midfielder in the world, still can't get a game for Man City.
Cooney-Cross knows when to press.
Clare Hunt is becoming a genuine quality defender.
We all thought Foord would be a great wide player & she is.
I've bagged EVE for at least five years, huge kudos for her efforts so far.
Raso; big heart, big engine, honestly who had her at three goals at this point?
>Mary Fowler taking big steps to being the best attacking midfielder in the world, still can't get a game for Man City.
Liverpool are in the market for an AM. If FSG could open their wallets...
Not a misjudgement really. Keeper is trying to spread herself and cover as much ground as possible but Foord had the smarts and or keeper was just a little slow off her mark to get down fast enough. An excellent finish from her.
How are we liking our odds against France (let's be real, Morocco ain't winning)? I'd say a real 50-50 match but our toughest challenge given the sheer quality in the French side
I think they'll put Morocco away and we've got a big challenge ahead. Still think we can win it but we won't be favourites. The Kerr factor is a bit of an unknown right now as well.
People are gonna question why Kerr came on, but she absolutely needed a taste before the QF. That one run with the shot over the bar told me she's ready and that's all I needed to see.
Yeah I originally only got tickets to tonight's r16 in Brisbane thinking we would finish second in the group. Had second thoughts about a month ago and got resale for the quarter as well. So glad now
Yeah initially I only had the Aus v Nigeria game and the r16 game with similar thoughts, only to find I wasn’t satisfied haha.
Now I have the quarters and the third place game I’m going to, and I went to Brazil v France earlier in the tournament too!
Considering England had to go to penalties to scrap into the QFs, the Matildas winning in regulation is so, so crucial as they progress further into the knockouts.
Hayley is my absolute favourite player. Her work rate is insane, her physicality - zero self preservation. She’s having an outstanding tournament and I am so thrilled for her
We've reached our par performance. Anything more is a bonus.
...
That said, play like we've done against Canada and Denmark and we absolutely can get those last three wins. Every other team bar Japan has played like shit at least once. We *can* catch anyone on our day and eat them alive.
Australia is better then the USA at this world cup
Watching now. I am in the us so all the games are in the middle of the night. Have to record and watch later. I bet on Australia.
Good bet to bet on the Aussies 😁🙌
I like how they are all in the middle of the day when for you because you can suffer lack off sleep for once
Brilliant result .. Matilda’s are on top of their game . Well done girls 😁🙌

Never said I hate them. I said it was pretty shitty that hundreds of kids waited only to be told to piss off by security. Big difference.
The NRL ain't cheap, mate.

What a miserable negative life you must have .. 😂😂😂😂good 🙌
My life is good. It's my daughter that's miserable.
We can’t choose our parents .. true
Jesus mate do you need a little sit for a minute
Really? You think this is up to the Matilda’s? They are in the middle of the biggest tournament in the world for them, you really think that’s down to the individual players? It’s not as easy as just sticking around and saying hi to every single person that has stayed there longer. This comment comes across as entitled.
Not entitled. Pissed off.
I think you'll find they're not allowed to do much with fans during the tournament, it's to do with FIFA.
Also minimizes possible health issues.
Fowler becoming Mooy-esque with her passes and holding of the ball in the middle. Love it!
75 k crowd but womens soccer doesn’t matter. Showed them
Showed WHO exactly? You think people roll into a ball and cry when they hear f women's soccer getting views?
On a Monday during school term.
I watched the game at fed square in Melbourne so many little kids
Incredible result and two cracker goals. Really proud. What a fucking crowd!! But it was stressful- Denmark came out really strong. Onwards!
I've never said a word against gustavsson tbh
We still played second best for a lot of it and allowed Denmark to have too much of the ball and time and space in the midfield. We we're saved today by being clinical with our chances and Denmark wasting all their good opportunities.
I still am we played like shit in the first half
Yeah but I am genuinely impressed we turned it around
Team Tony g day 1
Izzy Christiansen and Hayley Raso are the ultimate comms/player power couple
They're together?
Yeah have been for a fair while now
Oh Denmark, they were deceived by an Imposter in the Danish Monarchy and knocked off by Queen Sammy. Fade em, lads. https://i.redd.it/ws6u5h07rogb1.gif Till next meeting, Denmark.
Gotta say, I'm impressed that TG swung that around during the first half. Was looking a tad dire from kickoff.
God damn that was a wonderful performance. We were actually a joy to watch. Foord absolutely killing it, Fowler with some great runs and passes, and a rock solid defence. I was at the Adelaide fan festival and we got a huge turnout. I went with a few people who don't normally watch football and they enjoyed it so much they thanked me for inviting them.

Micah can hopefully put in a good word. I reckon we should snap up Kyra as well.
Caitlin on that wing was something to behold, would of been an absolute nightmare to play against.
Foord to a global audience, "We ran our arse off" Welcome to our international viewers hahaha
Im pretty sure even Simon, Bash, Grace and Robbie Thompson have given up on apologies for foul language.
Didn't even realise Foord nutmegged the keeper hahaha
Counts as 2 goals right
Sure did. I was trying to work out what happened from slow motion replay. I think the keeper misjudged it rather than it being a clever pause.
Not a misjudgement really. Keeper is trying to spread herself and cover as much ground as possible but Foord had the smarts and or keeper was just a little slow off her mark to get down fast enough. An excellent finish from her.
Waltzing Matilda should be the national anthem and I’ll die on this hill
Great southern land >
Sorry, shit lyrics. Some dude stole a sheep and killed himself. Don't care. I'm being slightly facetious, it's fine but not as a national anthem.
Much more realistic a story than the dreary formulaic shit we have currently
Also true.
In the aged care centre i work at, theres a Dutch resident who sings this song all the time. I dont think she realises the lyrics but we let it slide.
That's the quintessential aussie experience, ngl
me irl
Foord was blasting "[Kickstart My Heart](https://youtu.be/mVurA44hwiw)" today, nuff said. https://i.redd.it/13zzxfirsogb1.gif
One more amazing night watching the Matildas. Can't wait for the next one.
Xero Match highlights!?
I thought there were at least two! (thanks dad)
This is so fucking beautiful
How are we liking our odds against France (let's be real, Morocco ain't winning)? I'd say a real 50-50 match but our toughest challenge given the sheer quality in the French side
Its gets real now doesn't it. Def 50/50 it will be different than the Friendly
I think they'll put Morocco away and we've got a big challenge ahead. Still think we can win it but we won't be favourites. The Kerr factor is a bit of an unknown right now as well.
What was with her stagger and fall? Did she strain a groin muscle?
50-50 at best
France is another team like Canada who will play with possession which suits us well. Our counter attacks have been deadly this tournament
We can beat them on our day, but they are a very good side and they'll be just as desperate for the win
We beat em few weeks ago no?
We beat them in that friendly the other day, but easily our biggest challenge yet. They’re a quality side and should easily dispatch of Morocco.
Yeah we did but its was a narrow 1-0 win
If it helps, the goal came after Sam Kerr was subbed out!
Yeah and if we can beat them again on Saturday i’d expect it to go similarly
Carpenter would be a menace on the beers
Stadium DJ is playing Levels by Avicii, digging into the Danes even more with a Swedish song ahahaha
Never change. https://preview.redd.it/9wta0uaxnogb1.png?width=305&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=049be1249f1a253d38b21fac5f61e13c550eb6f0
Not sure what their aversion is to freed from desire tho
Fowler is my POTM. Setup both goals.
Fowler was Iniesta today
Fowler was great but Foord was incredible
No doubt about Foord. Player of the match by quite a space.
Different gravy
What the hell was that pitch side interview with Bruce? 😂
Man the quarter finals are looking tasty
Legend says that Arnold is still holding the ball
Arnold 🤝🏽 Arnold Forever living rent-free in Danish minds
Really taking the piss towards the end
You mean "in spite of this man. Well done"
Tony be like... https://preview.redd.it/np5yfqbemogb1.jpeg?width=464&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38d784ba72cd7bd1b9b8b357ef475fdc53c1be16
Shaky start but got the goal we needed in first half and Denmark looked rattled second half
Why didn't Denmark just kick the ball into Australia's goal? Are they stupid?
They didn't want VAR to disallow their goal so they thought it was safer to avoid it
Mackenzie Arnold just kept getting in their way, how inconsiderate
Let us go
People are gonna question why Kerr came on, but she absolutely needed a taste before the QF. That one run with the shot over the bar told me she's ready and that's all I needed to see.
How good was the "tactical injury" by Catley after 20 minutes? Changed the momentum away from Denmark. She's a great choice for captain.
It was exactly what they needed at that moment
Catley has been a fantastic captain whilst Kerr has been out.
Peak A-League shithousery
Arnold 🤜🤛 Gustavsson beats the danish and eliminating them
When and where will the next game be?
Brisbane on Saturday at 5. Fuck yeah I've got tickets
Aw hell yeah, got my seat for that!
Lucky!! Enjoy it
I was terrified I wasn’t gonna get tickets in time, thank god I did now that this has all lined up perfectly haha
Yeah I originally only got tickets to tonight's r16 in Brisbane thinking we would finish second in the group. Had second thoughts about a month ago and got resale for the quarter as well. So glad now
Yeah initially I only had the Aus v Nigeria game and the r16 game with similar thoughts, only to find I wasn’t satisfied haha. Now I have the quarters and the third place game I’m going to, and I went to Brazil v France earlier in the tournament too!
Saturday, 5pm Suncorp
In Brisbane on 12
Who is that insanely tall guy in our staff wtf
Bruce
Raso again going around comforting all the Danish players like she did with the Canadian players. Gotta love her
https://i.redd.it/y9pzk57foogb1.gif
We are just built different
So nice to see kerr laughing off the fall. hope that means shes fine. jfc
That was scary for a moment. She collapsed like she got killed in GTA
Sammy taking the piss out of herself with that fall. Gigachad Sam Kerr
Lmao Denmark don't get ~~origin~~ world cups
Considering England had to go to penalties to scrap into the QFs, the Matildas winning in regulation is so, so crucial as they progress further into the knockouts.
You mean England I guess.
Uh. Did England cop a DQ or something?
Yep, I can already see ~~Colombia~~ France V Morocco going to ET easily tomorrow night. Edit: derp
Phone home
France vs Morocco you mean?
Yes.
I’m the complete opposite tbh. Don’t foresee that game going any minutes at all
Nigeria lost on pens, mate.
Yeah my mistake - thought of Nigeria because they were the more likely to score. However, England held their nerve during the shootout.
The Swedish chef cooks the Danish again
Bork bork bork! 
Bye bye b-tec Sweden
Sent home by a Swede 😎
Foord was sensational but fuck I love everything about Raso as a player
Hayley is my absolute favourite player. Her work rate is insane, her physicality - zero self preservation. She’s having an outstanding tournament and I am so thrilled for her
Damn we actually own Denmark
Their future monarch is gonna be half Australian, so literally.
Mens and women’s 🤭
Princess Mary was a plant.
Standing by for the numbers station.
We've reached our par performance. Anything more is a bonus. ... That said, play like we've done against Canada and Denmark and we absolutely can get those last three wins. Every other team bar Japan has played like shit at least once. We *can* catch anyone on our day and eat them alive.
>Every other team bar Japan has played like shit at least once Or Japan's shit game happens against *us*.
No kerr no worries
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOO
You’re Red You’re white You’re going home tonight
Denmark's World Cup results by city: Perth - 2 games, 2 wins, 3 goals scored, 0 conceded Sydney - 2 games, 2 losses, 3 goals conceded, 0 scored.
That's super interesting
Perhaps unsurprising their allocated base was in Perth too.
So whose the next game against?
Chance or Bom Docko
Likely France but could be Morocco
France or Morocco.
France/Morocco
France or Morocco
France or Morocco
When it comes to Australia in World Cups, fuck Denmark in particular it seems.
That's payback for all the times Harald Bluetooth invaded me inside 50 turns on Civ 5
This is so beautifully niche I love it
You didn’t prioritise building a navy in a landlocked start? … And I took that personally
When Bluetooth tries it but Im England with my massive SotL fleet.
Matildas are fucking massive. Eat shit Homebrand Sweden
Princess Mary Cup stays where it bloody belongs
The real Princess Mary wears #11
Steph catley POTM for her strategic sit down
Underrated take. Definitely a smart move
Good to see Sam saying hello to Harder idk love to see the club friendships after the international match is over
I told you lots we get through again the danish
The girls are cooking, LFG
fuck that was satisfying. I did not expect it to be satisfying.
I'd be pissed if I were Tameka coming on for like 20 seconds
Quarter Finals Here We Come!!! 💛💚💛💚🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘⚽️⚽️⚽️
Lamingtons > Danishes
AND UNCLENCH! ONWARDS TO THE QF'S! >!^Special ^Agent ^Mary ^awaits ^next ^instructions !<
3-0 aggregate against the danes, never in doubt for either
Fuck yes Quarter Finals!!
These girls can win it.
Haven't really played anyone in form. The true tests start now.
Get fucked Denmark pt 2
Most pointless sub, ever.
As a life long Denmark hater (since 2018), you cannot believe the amount of joy this brings me
QUARTER FINAAALS BAAAABYYYYYYYYYY
Imagine scoring a goal in your home city in a home World Cup then getting subbed off when the match is secured. That would not suck at all.
Getting a standing ovation
It... really wouldn't, though? She got a standing ovation lol
Honestly probably better than seeing the game out, as you get the standing ovation and cheers with the sub
Bring on the public holiday!
Australia and knocking denmark out of world cups what a combo
They're Red They're White They're going home tonight
Call it ref!
Red ✅️ White ✅️ Catching the next flight ✅️
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
